[Ipg-smz] "If I was Thanos"

Tue Apr 30 00:54:27 UTC 2019

Won’t get an argument from me, some of the worst writing I’ve ever seen is from programmers. But there’s a difference between one or two classes in proper writing and degrees like Lit and Art History and fill-in-the-blank Studies. All that creates is an indebted, well-read barista.

I dunno...perhaps a balance? Considering how many REALLY HORRIBLY written papers I've gotten from computer science students, perhaps we should be considering an investment in the liberal art departments?  This way our STEM students have someplace to learn how to write and do public speaking.

I would eliminate clickbait hot-take articles and columns.

"If I was Thanos"

If you could snap your fingers and change anything about the tech industry, what would you change?

Crowdsourcing this for a gallery. And yes, it has to be limited to the tech industry. But it could be anything.
